IMPROVEMENT IN DOLLS HATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

193,67 dated July 31, 1677; application filed May 24, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLOTTE L. SLADE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Mode of Trimming Dolls Hats, the same being a meritorious novelty, making a new article of manufacture, and the said improvement or mode is fully set forth in the following specification and drawings.

Figure l-represeuts the dolls hat, with the improvement in trimming attached. Fig. 2 represents the'fiowers used for trimming, and known by the name of relieve pictures of flowers, which are cut out by steel dies.

To a dolls hat or bonnet made of straw, linen, or other material, I secure by means of glue, cement, sewing, or any suitable fastening, what is known as relief pictures of flowers, grass sprays, &c., which are readily obtained as articles of sale in book and fancy stores. By placing these embossed flowers upon the usual parts of a dolls hat, where trimming is ordinarily put, a very attractive toy is produced.

I do not claim the hat nor the flowers, as both are old, and not of my invention.

What I do claim is- As a new article of manufacture, a (1011s hat, trimmed or decorated with relief pictures ot'fiowers secured thereto, substantially as and for the purpose described.
